Ans:
D

Feedback:

In chemical synapses, neurotransmitters cross the synaptic cleft and bond with postsynaptic receptors to facilitate communication between neurons. This communication is one way, not two way, and each neuron has synaptic connections with thousands of other neurons. Gap junctions are associated with electrical synapses, not chemical synapses.
